What color is Dulux Soft Montelimar 1?

Dulux Soft Montelimar 1 30RR 17/140 is a medium-deep muted mauve with a dusty rose cast and a gentle greyed quality. Its red-violet base keeps it warmer than a true purple, while the softened saturation prevents it from reading overly sweet. In bright daylight, Soft Montelimar 1 can look like a faded berry tone; under warmer evening lighting, it takes on a richer, more enveloping presence. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and snug sitting spaces, especially on full walls or painted cabinetry. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm taupes, walnut, aged brass, and natural linen for a grounded scheme.
